Dr, Cloud reports that -‘in-

"house" recovery programs — ,

that is; programs run by a company for ‘its own em- ployees — have achieved a

‘ promising: and often im- pressive retovery rate. '

- Healso reports that hospital accommadations throughout. the nation for alcoholic _ patients: are woefully low. For example, in New York City ‘there are fewer than 100 hospital’ beds for’ alechotic patients, and, in Detroit, none

_ at all. This dearth of medical

facilities makes the NCA communication program that much-more vital in the battle

_ by business for addicted

employees.

The battle is more complex than is. generally’ realized, Crucial in a company program is the education -of top — and $middle- management in early detection of the alcoholic. And perhaps more important (s the understanding that alcoholism is no less a bona fide illness than, .say, pneumonia, diabetes, or heart disease.

.. Your advice stank again. I refer

to the 20-year mistress of the married man. She said she had _ given him the only love he had ever known and now that he had . suffered two coronaries she was wondering. about her rightful place at the funeral If he should die. The woman wrote a very poignant letter. She said that after 20 years of devotion she was entitled ta some status. You

‘told her (in your usual cold-

blooded way) that in our cultural setup, a married man's mistress has no status — his wife gets It all.

Don't you see how rotten and unfair this is? Open your eyes and start to give some decent advice, Or quit,.— Hal’sTrue Love

DEAR LOVE: It may be unfair, but I believe in telling it like it is. And this is the way it is.

DEAR ANN LANDERS: I just read the letter from the person in Syracuse whose brother had not spoken to his parents for two years. Your answer burned me up. You said it is “‘umspeakably cruel” to cut parents out of one’s life,

What about parents who cut children out of their lives? I don’t mean by not speaking to them. I mean by simply ignoring them: I have the most selfish ‘iricthe® ‘who‘ever lived. As for my. father, if I. saw him lying.on the street I wouldn't stop to pick him up. They are both so self-righteous they
